UK sets up new unit to minimize post-Brexit trade disruption - China.org.cn

The British government is setting up the Border Operations Centre to minimize disruption to trade when Brexit transition period expires at the end of this year, local media report Tuesday.

From Jan. 1, 2021, the Border Operations Centre will use specialists and cutting-edge software to help cope with disruption once Britain leaves the single market and customs union of the European Union (EU) and moves to new trading arrangements, Sky News reported.

"At the end of the year we will take back control of our borders and that's why we have set up the new Border Operations Centre to monitor and analyse flows of goods and people into the UK in real time," British Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove was quoted by the media as saying.

It is hoped that a better access to information and intelligence will minimize the disruption as changes in trading arrangements will likely mean there is "short-term" disruption at the border, according to the Sky News.
